This is my third year in entering the "Zachary's Poster Contest" and the deadline wasn't missed- I actually finished my entry! Previous years I've done posters with a sci-fi theme, so what a better homage to that then doing a Mystery Science Theater 3000 themed poster? The last two entries I submitted in the past have won; so I have yet to find out if I've bagged it once again this year. $100 free pizza and 2 t-shirts are surely enough to motivate me to coloring the gigantic poster. Although I'm much more addicted to their Caesar dressing; it is to die for. Above is one of my previous winning entries. Below is the current entry.
Recently my husband Jeremy worked for an artist doing some installation work. The project was so intensive that she's put his name in the credit with her work. It didn't make the website- but I think it's great! The opening is tonight at The Museum of Craft and Folk Art He installed FLOR carpet tiles in Megan Wilson's Project. Below is one of the interiors that Megan has done in the past. EDIT: Photos of my husband in front of the exhibit. photo credits: Home 1996 – 2008, San Francisco, California & mocfa.org The Featured Exhibit for this show is by Mike Shine, who creates this pretty cool Environment called the ArtShack. (pictured below) photo credits: Mike Shine Shine Shack, Bolinas, California & mocfa.org The show also will have Edgar Arceneaux and Watts House Project, Jacob Sockness, Merritt Wallace, and documentation of famed California environments. Who'd a thought my ass-kickin' husband would ever be involved in Installation art?
Although this may seem late on the draw- I'm still going to write about it. The Mighty Boosh has to be one of my all time favorite shows. The Mighty Boosh's fan base is worldwide and on the verge of abnormally obsessive. I committed to my love of the show by actually purchasing the first three seasons on DVD region-2 (yes I need an all-region DVD player now.)and have resorted to watching the show on my computer. For months a dedicated fan on YouTube had uploaded every episode, only to share with the world The Boosh's brilliance; soon later was taken down by the BBC. In my search for more information, comedy and such I ran across Cheekbone Magazine which is a magazine "for the fans by the fans" in which fan art is published inside this online mag. In thee olde spirit of BBC shows like The Young Ones and yes, I will say it, Monty Python's Flying Circus. The more refined budget of the show is pronounced with flash animations, indoor sound stages, impressive make-up and genius acting. Many of the main characters on the show often will play several parts in the same show. Writers: Julian Barratt & Noel Fielding Director: Paul King Cast: Julian Barratt as Howard Moon, Noel Fielding as Vince Noir+The Moon+Howlin' Jimmy Jefferson+The Brain Cell, Michael Fielding as Naboo, Dave Brown as Bollo & Rich Fulcher as Lester Corncrake+ Bob Fossil. If you have a chance, check it out. Here's a clip that makes me laugh so hard, i nearly cry.
It's raining and I'm enjoying listening to records. This last weekend was productive, and a had a change to cuddle with my husband and giggle a little bit. I decided to play dress up so I could show mom what I'm wearin' and that I'm not freezing my buns off or getting soaked. I'm bundled up.
I love my new coat. I love the rain. I love my records.
Bag by Queen Bee , Boots by Dr. Marten, Jacket from target (sssh!), and scarf by MyissaG on etsy skirt thrifted. Stripey socks are also target.

I finished Medusa today. This photo doesn't do it justice, epic. I say. The eyes are actually shaded white and are just a bit bloody as it's a very fresh tattoo. This measures about 6" x 6". Also did some sweet script - "Fancy" and "Dirty" killer side-hand tattoos on a way cool hairdresser, Dionne. Good times. I spotted Freddie C. at Aunt Mary's today- but didn't interrupt. Serious eatin'
I think this one took me two weeks, alongside the "Cheeseburger" tiki I painted. Hedwig is awe inspiring, and I can say this is pretty good with the use of skin tones for the first time. Peaches was my first- and I used only white and red. I've got to make a trip to the art supply store to purchase some colors, then I can start to get crazytime with the colors.
